I met Tom when he was in sales back in the 80’s and called on my company frequently (ASI) we became friends but lost contact around 2011
What a wonderful man who loved to talk about Gloria and his children and of course golf
I just put his name in to get back in touch with him and read the news
My condolences to Gloria and his family I will miss him

Mary & I offer our condolences to Gloria & the rest of the Pote family. Tom will be sorely missed by
Lafamiglia as a great friend & ardent supporter of our lodge. Tom was always the first to volunteer & help at all of our charitable endeavors without hesitation. Tom's passing leaves a void in the hearts of his lodge brothers but will always be remembered for his dedication, support, & generosity. Rest in peace brother.
